Blast cleaning of concrete surfaces can expose the aggregate when necessary or simply clean the surface from staining or paint. At the maximum pressure setting, we can crack open the hardest concrete to provide a perfect surface for re-coating. Concrete repair works require the surface to be keyed sufficiently to allow adhesion during the repair process. Blast cleaning provides this key without damage from vibration. Recent legislation surrounding the effects of vibration to the operator of hand held equipment has meant that methods such as needle gunning have to observe a strict working practice.
